A few random questions about solr queries.

*1)* With faceting, how does facet.query perform in comparison to facet.field? I'm just wondering this as in my use case, I need to facet over a field -- which would get me the top n facets for that field, but I also need to show the count for a "selected filter" which might have a relatively low c

Re: A few random questions about solr queries.

A wee bit of clarification on the 2nd question. I meant relative performance, ie. would it be much slower to facet over 20 facet.queries & 10 facet.fields compared to say, 4 facet.queries & facet.fields. I wonder if this makes sense... So... is a bump improper etiquette here? >_> -- View this mes

Is it faster to search over many different fields or one field that combines the values of all those other fields?

Say I have various categories of 'tags'. I want a keyword search to search through my index of articles. So I search over: 1) the title. 2) the body 3) about 10 of these tag-categories. Each tag category is multivalued with a few words per value. Without considering the affect on 'relevance', and

Wildcard query vs facet.prefix for autocomplete?

I'm about to implement an autocomplete mechanism for my search box. I've read about some of the common approaches, but I have a question about wildcard query vs facet.prefix. Say I want autocomplete for a title: 'Shadows of the Damned'. I want this to appear as a suggestion if I type 'sha' or 'dam

I'll consider using the other methods, but I'd like to know which would be faster among the two approaches mentioned in my opening post. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Wildcard-query-vs-facet-prefix-for-autocomplete-tp3995199p3995458.html Sent from the Solr -

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing, I'll ponder on it. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Wildcard-query-vs-facet-prefix-for-autocomplete-tp3995199p3995899.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Designing an index with multiple entity types, sharing field names across entity-types.

My question stems from a vague memory of reading somewhere that Solr's search performance depends on how the total number of 'terms' there are in all in a field that is searched upon. I'm setting up an index core for some autocomplete boxes on my site. There is a search box for each facet group in

Re: Designing an index with multiple entity types, sharing field names across entity-types.

To clarify a wee bit more. I'm wondering the performance impact on single-entity queries if I use common field names. eg. 'name' field for all entity types. 'Author' & 'Book' together make up for 200,000+ 'name' values. Will this affect anything if I search over 'Category'? Will using fq=type:categ
